    We can help you better if you would give some examples of what you’re confused about.

    What specifically do you need help with?

    You said you read the Manual, but have you seen the Getting Started site? Might be best to start with Step 4, Getting Comfy:
    https://learn.wordpress.com/get-comfy/

    You also might want to sign up for the free Blogging Fundamentals course. More information on that here:

    Thanks jason, i really appreciate your reply.Basically, i don’t know how to go about designing my newly opened blog to my own taste.Another problem is that my blog doesn’t appear on search engines like google

    Okay.

    For design, the best thing to do is mess around in the Site Customizer. You can do whatever you want in there from changing colours and fonts and no changes will be saved until you tell it to save. To get to your Customizer, click on My Sites in the top left, then click on Customize (next to Themes).

    (All the information on the Customizer is here:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/)

    As for Google, this support doc discusses that:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

    The very first question on the page:

    Why isn’t my blog in Google?
    WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. The search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add any new sites. Connecting a Google account with verified site ownership through Google’s search console may help register your site for inclusion. Please contact Google for more information.

    So you don’t have to do anything but wait.

    The best thing you can do is go through those training pages from my previous post and bookmark the WordPress.com Support page:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/

    More than likely, any of the beginning questions you have will be covered by a comprehensive document on that site.

    That being said, come back and post in the forums. We like to help!

    Good luck!
    Jason
